No Car, but a new Laptop!

Check out my website:

We may not have a functioning car, but I now have a spanky new laptop. James presented it to me after nap time yesterday. And I, ungrateful creature that I am, didn't even have the courtesy to say thank you before I started in on, "Where did you get this? How can we possibly afford this?" And other such sentiments.

Poor guy.

Apparently, he got it dirt cheap, and is paying a piddling amount for it over the next few months... He felt really awful about not getting me a birthday present so he did this.

I am not to concern myself with how it will be paid for. (Although we all know I still will!)

Its a really lovely little instrument. And now I can be comfy in bed when I update in here, instead of sitting in a very uncomfortable chair! When the witchling saw it, she got all excited... "Momma, now you can take it to the hospital when you have the baby..."

*Yesterday the witchling and I made lists of what I will need for my hospital bag, and we consulted a book for an itemized list. She was very concerned when she saw "laptop computer" about half way down between "breast pads" and "extra socks", cause we obviously didn't have one. Which was kind of ironic, since an hour later James gave me one...*

I have been going through the booklet the hosiptal sent me for the birth. I was happy to see that they have LDR rooms... (Labor-Delivery-Recovery all in one room) cause I didn't fancy being moved from room to room to room. Then I read the pamphlet on making a living will, and that creeped me out... I really don't want to think about what to do if I die, about whether or not to pull the plug and all that stuff...

That's really scary!

I mean, I know the birthing process has some risks, and some women do die... Not many anymore thank the Goddess! But... I'd rather not think of that happening to me! (Fingers now in ears... "La La La La La")

I still can't believe I am having a baby! We wanted one for so long, and I didn't think I'd ever get pregnant... And although now I wish it had taken a little bit longer, so we would have been settled... I am so happy! I love this baby more every time I feel him kick... Even those lovely sharp ones that get me right in the bladder!
